Nightmare Abby
by Thomas Love Peacock was first published in November 1818. It was the third of his novels to be published.
In the year 1837, the book was republished after a little revision by the author in Volume 57 of Bentley’s Standard Novels.
Like most of the novels written by Peacock, it was also well received and widely accepted. It was more popular among the young readers of the time.
The most significant theme of the novel is the strong liking of contemporary poets and novelists for their morbid subjects and gothic settings.
Another noticeable theme is the affected misanthropy and world weariness of the writers, intellectuals, and philosophers of the time.
The story also deals with the contemporary interest in philosophical system which generally happens to abstruse, unworldly, and transcendental.

A highly noticeable theme is the contrast between the Classical and the Romantic.
